Book Bag: February

Humor (Amelia Bedelia), Fairy Tales, Classics (Charlotte's Web), and a little Julia Child on DVD amused in February... Madeline was especially entertained by the black and white segments of The French Chef, and really like the Queen of Sheba Cake and Mousse Au Chocolat. ****Faves are noted below.

How do dinosaurs say I love you? / Jane Yolen

Amelia Bedelia / by Peggy Parish****They are huge fans. We ended up getting many more the week after we read the first, and Gramma sent us a bunch too!

E.B. White's Charlotte's web****Loved it!

Kate and the beanstalk / written by Mary Pope Osborne****Wonderful twist to this tale! We always love tough heroines .

The French chef with Julia Child. Disc 3, Baking, desserts, and other classics [videorecording]****Love Julia. The kids did too, especially Madeline.

My heart is like a zoo / Michael Hall****Fun craft idea!

Here's a little poem : a very first book of poetry / collected by Jane Yolen and Andrew Fusek Peters****This would make a beautiful baby shower or young child's birthday gift. Famous poets, gorgeous illustrations by Polly Dunbar and collected by Jane Yolen. Can't be beat!
